Description
Extension
https://www.raycast.com/vimtor/whatsapp
Description
Purpose:
Create Raycast Quicklinks to open WhatsApp conversations with specific contacts directly from the Raycast root search.
Required changes:
The extension should be able to read the JSON argument passed via Quicklink and act on it.
Example:
For a contact with the number +33712131415, the JSON context would be:
context={"defaultValue"="+33712131415"}
Once encoded, the URL would be:
raycast://extensions/vimtor/whatsapp/open-chat?context%3D%7B%22defaultValue%22%3D%22%2B33712131415%22%7D

Research direction
Start with the WhatsApp extension's open-chat command and compare it with the context Quicklink behavior shown in the Twitter extension. The work is done when the command reads the JSON context, uses defaultValue such as +33712131415, and opens the corresponding WhatsApp conversation.
